A Sad Girl's Book Of Disasters

Cheer

When coach starts to talk I just nod my head

If I open my mouth, it's the tears that I dread

No coach doesn't scare me, it's all in my head

I reflect on my failure while laying in bed

So while our team talks and faces their fears

I'm in the corner blinking back tears

Cheer makes me feel stupid, cheer makes me feel weak

And sometimes my sadness just reaches it's peak

I try not to cry in front of my team

It's when I get home that the tears really beam

Did you see me today? When I messed up that stunt?

Almost all of my team with their annoyed little grunts

It makes me feel worse when they blame it on me

I know it's my fault can you just leave me be?

I feel bad already, those grades will be slipping

When I get thrown in the air it's my sadness that's tipping

Depressed and unstable is just what I am

And when I'm at practice I hide who I am

But the girl in the air, on the court or the field

Had never revealed what she truly feels

So leave her alone, don't make her feel sad

Cuz she's trying so hard to make you all glad.
